The accumulation of novobiocin by Escherichia coli was shown to be a nonsaturable process. Inhibitors or uncouplers of respiration had no effect on accumulation in cells grown in Isosensitest broth, whereas, bacteria grown in nutrient broth demonstrated an energy-dependent efflux mechanism. In contrast, accumulation of novobiocin by Staphylococcus aureus was found to have a Km of 74 microM and uncouplers and inhibitors of respiration reduced the accumulation suggesting that in S. aureus novobiocin is transported actively.

Excessive lipid accumulation promotes the occurrence and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), accompanied by high levels of fatty acid synthetase (FASN) and more active lipogenesis. Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) acts as a chaperone to maintain the stability and activity of the client proteins. Studies have revealed that Hsp90 regulates the lipid metabolism of HCC, but the effect of Hsp90 on FASN still remains unknown.

Unlabelled: Clorobiocin is a well-known, highly effective inhibitor of DNA gyrase belonging to the aminocoumarin antibiotics. To identify potentially novel derivatives of this natural product, we conducted an untargeted investigation of clorobiocin biosynthesis in the known producer DS 12.976 using LC-MS, molecular networking, and analysis of fragmentation spectra.

Drug transporters are among the factors that determine the pharmacokinetic profiles after drug administration. In this study, we investigated the roles of drug transporters involved in transport of SN-38, which is an active metabolite of irinotecan, in the intestine under inflammatory conditions in vitro and determined their functional consequences. The expression alterations of breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) and organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 2B1 were determined at the mRNA and protein levels, and the subsequent functional alterations were evaluated via an accumulation study with the representative transporter substrates [prazosin and dibromofluorescein (DBF)] and SN-38.

Background: Olaparib, a poly (adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor has demonstrated promising efficacy in patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) carrying breast cancer gene (BRCA) mutations. However, its impact on BRCA wild-type (BRCAwt) TNBC is limited. Hence, it is crucial to sensitize BRCAwt TNBC cells to olaparib for effective clinical practice.

Cells have evolved strategies to safeguard their genome integrity. We describe a mechanism to counter double strand breaks in the chromosome that involves the protection of an essential housekeeping enzyme from external agents. YacG is a DNA gyrase inhibitory protein from Escherichia coli that protects the bacterium from the cytotoxic effects of catalytic inhibitors as well as cleavage-complex stabilizers of DNA gyrase.
